There is nothing bold about it. They are horrible endings that make no sense, are riddled with plotholes, so many things are unexplained and it overall isj ust pure depressing. I don't mind bittersweet or dark endings, but when those aret he only choices for a end when we where told it would be possible to get a good ending, ya I'm not pleased with the ending at.

I will tell you the sense.

The Reapers are insane.
Joker tries to kill everyone on the Normandy and Shepard is powerless to stop him.

It sounds bold....until you realize they ripped off Deus Ex.

They're similar, but not quite the exact same thing. You crealy haven't played Deus Ex.

Obviously you haven't. Watch comparison videos, literally, the only difference is there are multiple reapers, and multicolored relay explosions...that's it.

[Patriota125]

And that's why they arent the same thing.

So now twilight fangirls critize Mass Effect for not having an ORIGINAL ENDIGN, and they wanted a SUNSHINE, RAINBOWS AND BUNNIES ENDING WHERE EVERYONE IS HAPPY? Is sunshine and bunnies ending supossed to be ORIGINAL? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

You just went FULL RETARD. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

so you think this ending is original?

And sunshine and bunnies is?

I just wanted the option, at least. You can have your grim death ending of horror, just give me a chance at peace. Actually, this reminds me of part of a homily the priest gave: "I always read the end of a book to see if it has a happy ending. I don't want to finish a book and feel depressed. In that case, why did I pay $20 dollars?"

Yes, what the priest said basically sums up my feelings about these kinds of things, except of course that here you're spending even more money - $60 or $80 - for the depression. If you really want to depress yourself, it's more than easy enough to do so for free.

Except the fact that the ending literally makes no sense at all.

No, no route would have pleased "all fans". None. The only thing they could have done is pleased the greatest number of them.

Some would say an unpredictable ending means you improperly wrote everything leading up to it. Normally, the ending should be dictated by what came before it. It's predictable not because we "expect this to happen before picking up the book" but we can recognize the signs leaning up to the ending.

Unless you're reading a mystery the pieces to put together the end should already be avaliable to you by the time you reach it, if you so choose.

But ah well. The ending isn't bad. It's just unsatisfying.

They could of pleased all teh fans if they, you know, actually did different endings and have one ending let ou be with your LI and friends. 

No. They would have just pissed off a bunch of people who think bioware shouldn't cater to different playerbases. There are some people who literally hate having other options for different players.

Like I said, you can't please them all.

I had a prostate exam the other day....now THAT was bold and unpredictable!

Finally, someone who isn't drowning their keyboard in tears.

Like I said in another thread, anyone who was expecting some groundbreaking narrative didn't play the first two games. The game was meant to be entertaining, and entertaining it was.

Having multiple endings in a game based around the idea of choice is hardly going catering to a different playerbase.

How is it bold? Anyone and their grandmother can come up with the ending it was just a story being told to some child. Its more like lazy writing.

[Intomydimension]

 question , this it the endings?? i dont see it bad , except that relays , but i no like classic happy ending from this saga

Destroy - Guardian explains tech singularity and you think he is full of it. So you blow up the Reapers. This blows up the Citadel, and kills all synthetic life. Yes that includes EDI and the Geth. It does NOT eliminate all tech based in Element Zero. I still don't know where that idea came from.
Control - Guardian explains tech singularity and you think "crap that might really happen" so you decide to keep the reapers around, but you are the new master. Perhaps you also feel bad that each reaper represents a race of life forms, and if you killed them you would be the biggest mass murderer of all time. So you have your body vaporized and your mind absorbed by the Citadel, replacing the Guardian. You immediately call off the Reapers.
Synthesis (official name, not Merge) - Guardian explains tech singularity, but that if the organic and synthetic were united all would be raised to a higher existence. You jump in to the crucible energy beam and are dissolved, collector base style. A pulse then comes from the Citadel, changing all of the Reapers along with all other life into a hybrid. The Reapers stop attacking on their own. The Citadel is destroyed.
In all three, the Relays are used to spread the chosen action galaxy wide. In all three, that process destroys them. They blow up Arrival style, but spew out the chosen type of energy, not just a blast wave like in Arrival.

Hey, I wonder why the "discretion of the mods" to ban people who freely insult others doesn't apply to this kind of person. What are the new forum rules for, then?

[Quionic]

 ****ty endings are ****ty. 

[Pr3ying M4nt15 360]

Bold and unpredictable once by using shock factor to make the fan think they've got one of the lesser endings.

After that it's just the same predictable thing everytime. The variations are invalidated by the reality of the situation. Normandy effectively ends on a cliffhanger with a vague epilogue that implies they created an inbred colony.

there is no sunshine inside the normandy , and rabits use up life support capacity, unless they are robotic or something.

Why does the ending to the story have to be a crappy ending for shepard. You can tell the exact same story with an ending  that allows him some peace. you really only have to change some very minor details after he makes his choice.  

none of the choices or ending variations are original, so why deny people what they want...thats just, as you so elequently put it...retarded.

It sounds like they made the ending bold and grimdark for the sake of being bold and grimdark.

better ripping that off instead of pulling a sorpranoes on us let alone it was all a dream

Bioware stole a ending from another game and the Op thinks it bold . No its stupid and dumb. They have destroyed the Mass Effect Ip . I am playing it for the achievement points and the characters I like nothing else . the story is a joke and is pointless. The whole Mass Effect story is stupid .

Depends on the cancer.
For example, small-cell lung cancer is going to kill you, if you're diagnosed with it. Without treatment you'd be dead in a timeframe of three to six months. With treatment, six months to a year.
Being small-cell in nature, it spreads fast and is highly aggressive. My mother's tumour grew to a size of 8x8.5cm in less than six weeks.
Of course, that's assuming you're not one of the 5% of patients diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer who actually manage to survive five years.

Considering that all endings have everyone on your squad ”stranded”, it could be leading to a next Mass Effext game set after the events of the Reapers and Shepard.

No. It results in the mass effect universe's anhilation.

Hardly.

FTL still exists, and given that ships can already cover 12 light years per day they can get from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than 23 years. Its a long trip, no doubt, but its possible. Travel between systems would be a matter of weeks and months. As FTL technology advanced, galactic society could slowly rebuild. The ME universe is still very much intact (provided you did well and saved most species), it just takes a litle longer to get around it.

Funny you should say that..

Because of all the Element Zero released by the destruction of the relays there will be an influx of it.
